building a dream and functional kitchen

8 years ago
Hi, I am planning to move into my new house. Can anyone give me your opinion on my new kitchen design?

    Karen , are you doing wood or tile in the kitchen? White Oak will give you that color.

    The front part (white floor) is the original floor with ceramic tiles. The other part of the kitchen floor was the extension area, where I am using wood effect tiles. The actual Color of the tiles is lighter.

    The cabinets at the top seem a little high. That may just be the perspective from the rendering though.

    I would put the DW on the other side of the sink, so that it's not in the primary prep space. If dishes are stored to the left of the relocated DW, it will be easier for someone to load and unload, or gather dishes to set the table, without crossing into the primary prep zone.

    If you want to keep the very upper uppers, I would run the cabinets so that they end over the fridge. Box the fridge to create a cleaner look.

    I have this at the other side of the wall. Area after the stove will be dinning area. The fridge besides the stove is a temporary (as I have an extra fridge)
    Fuzzy wuzzy- if I don’t place the fridge at the end, what should I do?

    Mama goose - thanks for the advise. It totally makes sense!

    I have changed the backsplash to white subway tiles. Wonder if they will match the kitchen design...

    No, your kitchen is modern and sleek...white subway tile is not. Unless it's the very long type, please no 3x6.

    The fridge besides the stove is a temporary (as I have an extra fridge)

    The fridge beside the stove gives you a functional layout. Progression of meal prep is fridge--->sink--->prep counter--->stove. If you have only one fridge, across the room, you'll be adding many unnecessary steps to your prep tasks, and you'll be crossing a traffic aisle.

    FAQ: Kitchen Work Zones, What Are They?

  • 8 years ago
    Why with all that planning is the fridge not built in and looks like an after thought on the end? When I first saw it I thought they were two different kitchen designs in a showroom. There is no warmth to it at all. Cold as ice. Not a fan of one.long strip of kitchen. Do you have a designer?

    What blondelle said. The refrigerator at the end of the run with the cooktop looks like an afterthought. Is the fridge near the cooktop staying?

    Can you post an overhead layout, with all measurements included? It will be easier to give advice with more info included.

    I would suggest switching the refrigerator and pantry locations.

    The fridge next to the stove in the renderings is just an extra? Are you keeping it after the remodel? If not, I would add a pantry cabinet to the right of the stove so that both sides are boxed in. It's a symmetry issue I have. :)

    ETA, I love your overall design. Please keep the bold backsplash. It will make the kitchen.

    This is the layout of the kitchen cabinet.

    Zmith, I currently have 2 refrigerators, thinking to move both over to the new house. Sometimes later , the one next to the stove may go away, but that may cause inconvenience as the distance between the sides of cabinets is 7 feet...
